You will see some familiar names in the pages of the magazine (Jason Kibbler, Dario Catellani, Julia Noni, Marcelo Krasilcic, and Asger Carlsen to name a few) but you’ll also find some not-so-recognizable faces. According to the magazine, they’ve “enlisted a couple rappers, some artists and musicians, a convicted felon, a few party people, two carpenters, a DJ, a handful of strangers we spotted on the street, and a crew of our favorite stylists, designers and photographers to share their stories and contribute new work.”

Spring is upon us and with the season comes the urge to travel and the promise of sun soaked escapes to far flung corners of the world. For fashion fanatics Spring also brings a thrilling influx of brand new designs and the latest issue of Russh‘s displays many of them in captivating fashion. Juliana Schurig graces the cover in a serene shot by Ward Ivan Rafik (Paris: ArtList Paris, New York: ArtList NY) that sets the stage for an issue focused on breaking from the typical. Though Schurig looks resplendent on sandy shores getting away from it all doesn’t always require a trip to the beach; readers can just as easily lose themselves in Clare Shilland’s smart studio shoot, or the striking accessories story starring Ophelie Rupp.

Russhwraps up a stella year with a feminine focused issue filled with striking fashion moments. Beloved Aussie model Catherine McNeil covers the December/January edition in a refined shot by Santiago & Mauricio Sierra (Cadence New York) that captures her allure perfectly. The ‘Venus Rises” tagline on the frontpage serves as theme for the issue, which is dedicated to the theme of womanhood. Inside you’ll find inspirational features with the likes of Jodie Kidd, Yumi Lambert & many more.

Russh kicks things into high gear with a stunning September issue devoted to 21st century glamour and the magic of after hours elegance. With the white hot Ashleigh Good gracing the cover in a striking black and white shot, the issue delves into the season’s key fashions and a host of engaging content. With luminaries like producing legend Giorgio Moroder, designer Phillip Lim and photographer Max Snow featured in interviews, Russh provides more than just enticing visuals. Which is not to say that you won’t find plenty of eye-candy to enjoy – colorful editorials featuring it-girls Chloe Norgaard and Agnes Nabuurs are standouts, but don’t take our word for it – check out or preview of the new issue.

When Haider Ackermann filled his S/S13 runway with transparent creations emblazoned with black and white dots, it seemed like an unusual move. Polka dots are a fashion standard dating back years, but the diminutive patterns are more often associated with the prim styles of the 1950s than with the kinds of cutting-edge wares favored on Paris’ runways. The designer so known for his innovative use of lush, saturated color was showing another side, taking one of the most uncool of motifs and making it feel new.

In keeping with the current craze for all things graphic, stylists have embraced the versatility of these simple circles, working Ackermann’s creations into a variety of editorials. On occasion the interpretations don’t veer too far from the runway approach (fashion abides by the ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ mantra whenever it can) but the excitement comes when the spots are complimented by clashing patterns to create a dynamic visual treat. Whether it is layering in another of Ackermann’s prints from S/S or adding a bold kimono for interest, the real fun lies in the mix which offers stylists an opportunity to show their creativity.

Russh travels to the idyllic beaches of Ibiza for its Energy Issue. In the hands of another glossy, the topic of energy would be handled in a literal fashion with kinetic editorials brimming with tension, but Russh prefers to play it cool. Offering up a series of chill stories filled with fashionable femmes and an effortless vibe attuned to spring/summer’s easy-going fashions. Cover star Julia Nobis makes for the perfect embodiment of this laid back, yet irresistible aura. The lithe Aussie seem right at home as she chills in Celine Birkenstocks and she even manages to make high-concept pieces from Gareth Pugh & Alexander Wang look easy in Benny Horne‘s dreamy imagery.
